Excellent stay - our only major concern was that they have you write your CC details including CVV and Exp on a paper form when checking in.They kept this in a pile by the computer at an unmanned front desk after 10 PM This is a major security issue so we unfortunately had to scramble some numbers on the CC to ensure safety. Otherwise the hotel was great and highly recommend. Great location.

Cassie

Liked: Cleanliness
Rooms were clean and night staff were awesome. Breakfast staff had to be asked to refill the water jugs and sugar. They didn’t seem to pay attention to keeping everything stocked. Also the front door of the hotel was often left open allowing cigarette smoke to waft up through the main areas / staircase. Overall was an ok place to stay but I wouldn’t return.

Bed sheets were clean, but the hotel was dated and rooms were not super clean. Horel needs some up keep. We had a river view room which was nice to look at, but could hear everything outside - even people’s footsteps on the sidewalk below. Could also hear a banging noise everytime doors were opened (not sure if it was the front door). The breakfast was great, and front desk staff helpful.
